Conflict Minerals Amendment Makes Financial Reform Bill

[altrn8tiv]

What will this bill mean, and will we see that it's not just a pr whitewash?

On the sexual abuse, doesn't this behaviour destroy them socially? Surely thier own people can't respect them?

I sure hope victims aren't ostricised as they have been in other conflicts.

Im not gonna lie, that dudes voice makes me want to tell him to get some teeth and speaking lessons. You cant be convincing with a voice that sounds like porky the pig.

This is bullcrap ! Every product ever made has some kind human issue with it, it comes with the tag. If someone doesn't die getting that special product you so very much want, then whats the point buying it. Think about it, if a child in the congo, steals a piece of gold, that gold could as well have being used for a processor, is it wrong to cut one of their hand off, or was it wrong of them to stop progress, think about it. Thank you !

I will support this once the "ENOUGHproject" will pay every company that falls under this to design, build and process new products which do not use these minerals.

Other wise I saw this is a joke! I disagree with this project 100%. I think you need to learn a bit more about business before you go running your mouth about this.

You guys get a chance to see how the adults of the world are actually doing the business that affect your lives, and this is what you notice? Hair? Rep. Frank's funny voice?

I think maybe you're too used to the way celebrities are selected for being artificially pretty. Celebrities are to intellectual effort what the Red Delicious apple is to fruit.

We need people with brains and guts making laws, and though I don't always agree with him, I have to put Rep. Frank in that category.

Somebody hand that guy a hair brush before he's on TV next time ...

You worry about combing his hair, when millions of people have been raped or died and you sit there Complaining......... I wish you were there so you could get some too.

[jasonb527]

@NewVizi0n ... Really? You really wish I could be raped and killed because your tiny brain couldn't understand the point behind my comment? It's fanatics and crazies like you that are the reason these issues rarely get the attention they deserve. My point was that if you want to get somewhere with your cause, how about finding someone to speak for you who doesn't have an almost unintelligible lisp or at least takes the time to brush their hair?

Well I'd like to see how you fair after a long day of reading proposals and getting a dry throat because you've been talking so much.

This is work people roll up their sleeves over and get sweaty pit stains from. It goes with the job, man.

Does Rep. Barney Frank sound more like Elmer Fudd or Daffy Duck?

Maybe a combination of both. :)

i wish they would assign someone more well-spoken to such an important and disturbing issue
